Edition #53 Notes
Designed with Elizabeth Jean Younce, better known as her studio moniker Mustard Beetle, an artist and illustrator based out of Los Angeles, California. We combined two illustrations that Elizabeth had just completed titled "Mojave Desert" and "Jepson Prairie Preserve". They include a bat, lizard, small creatures, and vibrant plant life, and together compose an immaculate vibe for the October release.
Elizabeth's illustrations were printed onto a 100% Normandy linen, and backed by an indigo blue bookcloth. We chose nature-y and fall themed endsheets with a handmade mulberry paper that has actual leaves an stems embedded in the paper.
The notebooks are finished with a tan thread, and much like with the last two editions, will be packaged in a box with a bookmark and a notecard to match the design.
Fray level: High
Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use. Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you gauge how much fraying to expect from your notebook. Read more about fabric covers
